A friend Of mine told me of q pathetic
incident that took place the other evening
when the Britishers were being natural
lied. One old fellow could not see the
print on the naturalization paper, SO he
got a friend to read it. When the words
''renounce forever all allegiance and
fidelity 10 every foreign prince, state,
potcntate and sovereignty whatsoever
more especially to Victoria, queen OF the
united kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land" were reached-the old mans eyes
grew moist, and he said with a tone of
sadness in his voice: I've been faithful
subject of her for more than thirty five
years. and I don't know how she'll feel
about it," But then the thought of the
republic where he had made his home for
years came 10 him and, rubbing his big
hand across his eyes, he signed the paper
that made him citizen. l repeat the
story because il seems TO me to illustrate
SO well the peculiar feeling Of loyalty
which animates an EnClishman, not
only toward his tight little isle" but
toward the sovereign who represents its
Soyernment.-Bostou Post

Sad was the song that the minstrel
sung, in the light Of the waning moon.
and his voice was cracked and his knees
were sprung, and his eyes far ont OF their
sockets hung, and he howled a dirge in a
foreign tongue, and his Tyre WAS out of
tune. l softly unclaimed the brIndle dog,
and loaded the old shotgun; while he
scraped his Tyre in the damp and fog, and
sung of a fairy who drove "A frog. and held
a court in n sombrr bog. by the light Of a
midnight sun. Ne fairies for me- |
softly said, so, singer, you'll change
your tune; You must sing 4 ballad Of
death instead. of ghosts in purple and
ghosts in red, of regions where wander
the phantom dead, and there are no stars
OF neon
He tuned his harp 10 a dismal law that
chilled all the blood | owned, aud he sung,
There's land in the far away, where
never is cleaning the light of the day
where the goblins damp and the spccters
stay, and wind with their shrieks is
toned. The ghost of the paIiid dude is
there, bereft Of its giided cane: it has no
oil for its yellow hair. it has no glasses to
eye the fair, and it cannot stand on the
street and stare, SO the dude is bowed in
pain ! loosed the dog on the minstrel
there. and | fired my gun in the damp:
and pieces of harp flew in the air, and
stoGy boots and wads of hair, and all that
was left of the minstrel fair was rolled in
postage stamp.-Lincoln (Neb) State

ten feet in depth, to the surface OF the

days ago we could sit on the north end of
this rock rib and watch the torrid waves
rush down the incloSure, strike the wall
beneath our feet and sink into the earth,
to reappear at the upper end with undi

we find that the boiling flood shoots out
over the wall where We formerly sat.
The Hurricane presents the appearance
of "A revolving liquid globe There Is

Narrow Escape from Angry Bees.

A farmer who is an expert in the culture
Of bees declares that they are the most in
terestiDG Of creatures, and that their
''cuteness" is wonderful. Like all living
creatures, the bee has n natural enemy; il
this case it is the moth miller, which some
times drives the swarms to desperation
and frenzy. Then it is that the wary keep
at a safe distance from The hives. This
particular bee owner once saw a peculiar
instance of the bees hatred Of black OBJ
jects. Ii became necessary in some way
TO rearranGe something belonging to the
hive. when, like host Of furies, the en-
RACED inmates flew out en- masse and at
tacked the disturber Of their peace. Quick
as thought the farmers wife ran and
'hrew her white apron over the husbands
dead. whereupon the bees did not alight
on him, but instead attacked two innocent
black hens who happened near by, and
stung them TO death.-Boston Post.

Pawning Her hoy. Clothes Tor Mcdicine.
A poor woman in Wales, whose boy had
been very i'll for several years, had expend-
ed all of her means to pay for medicine.
At last the doctors gave him up and said
he must die. He suffered so terribly with
Rheumatism that he could not be moved.
One day some one told her about the
Mount Lebanon Shakers. The evidence of
the curative power of their Extract of
Roots was so convincing that she pawned
the poor boys clothing to buy bottle of
the remedy tSiegerS Syrup. but now she
feels proud that she did SO. for it was the
means Of curing her son. The Shakers say
this was the result OF Indigestion and that
the msdicne cured the Dyspepsia, and that
the rheumatism was only symptom Of the
real disease. For coughs the Shaker Tar
Capsules are strongly recommended.
